Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names.

The SVT-40 is World at War's starting semi-automatic rifle, nearly identical to the Gewehr 43 apart from attachments and reload. Popkorne's Steam guide says players usually prefer the Gewehr, but that the SVT's iron sights stay out of the way under a Telescopic Sight. Our verdict is to use that sight and treat the gun as a stand-in sniper. This applies to original 2008 multiplayer.
Best SVT-40 loadout
No major guide publishes a build for this gun, so this is our suggested setup from its available attachments. Attachments come from GameRevolution's challenge list (7 December 2010) alone.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Telescopic Sight | Steam guide says the iron sights are not in the way, unlike the Gewehr's |
Why this build works
The Steam weapons guide (updated January 2019) lists 40 to 30 damage, a 10-round magazine, low recoil and medium penetration. Its reload is 3.23 seconds against the Gewehr's 3, so the gain here is the sight picture rather than speed.
How to play it
The guide says the class is deadly at medium range and an effective all-rounder, and it calls this setup a good alternative to a sniper rifle. Watch the 10-round magazine in longer fights.
Unlock notes
GameRevolution lists the SVT-40 at level 1. The Telescopic Sight takes 150 kills, so it is the last of its attachments to arrive.
Other listed attachments: Flash Hider (25 kills), Aperture Sight (75 kills).
